A speed boat carrying 11 illegal immigrants sank earlier today near the Pak-Iran border.
According to Levies sources, the speed boat was on its way from Gwadar district’s Jewni area to the Iranian border when it sank.
He said four dead bodies were retrieved from the Arabian Sea, whereas a search operation initiated by the locals was under way to recover the remaining seven bodies.
“People were engaged on their own in rescue efforts. The boat was overloaded and all of a sudden it somehow sank”, Gichki said quoting locals.
The dead bodies are yet to be identified. He said the victims were illegal immigrants from Pakistan trying to enter into neighboring Iran illegally.
